Rethinking Securities Law by Marc Steinberg

Winner
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

The system of securities regulation that prevails today in the United States is one that has been formed through piecemeal federal legislation, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) invocation of its administrative authority, and self-regulatory episodic action. As a consequence, the presence of consistent and logical regulation all too often is lacking. In both transactional and litigation settings, with frequency, mandates apply that are erratic and antithetical to sound public policy. This book focuses on "rethinking" the securities laws, with particular emphasis on the Securities Act and Securities Exchange Act.

A Constitution for a Democracy (An excursion in nonfiction) by Rohit (Roy) Kajaria

Finalist
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

The two basic models of democracy in the world today are the parliamentary form as practiced in the United Kingdom, and the presidential form as practiced in the United States of America. The author analyzes each, and develops a new model that synthesizes their relative advantages while minimizing their shortcomings. The proposed constitution in this book is primarily based on the parliamentary model with some elements of the presidential form. The author has also incorporated some elements of the French, German, Japanese, and Russian constitutions in the interest of thoroughness. The result is a constitution for a democracy that is secular, accountable, efficient and cost-effective.




Get Bail, Leave Jail: America's Guide to Hiring a Bondsman, Navigating Bail Bonds, and Getting out of Custody before Trial by S.J. Plotkin

Finalist
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

When you or someone you care about is incarcerated, your priority is to secure a safe release as soon as possible. This can be overwhelming. You may feel rushed and might make bad decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information—decisions that carry serious long-term consequences.

Get Bail, Leave Jail helps Americans safely navigate legal accusations, arrests, bail bondsmen, and the most complicated court procedures. Its guidance stems from more than 60 years of family experience in bail, working with thousands of people in need, countless criminal defense lawyers, and all manner of law enforcement and court officials.

Within these pages, you'll find detailed advice about:

  • Five types of bail agencies (including how to check their reputation and qualifications).
  • Eleven questions to ask a bail bondsman or bail agent before hiring them.
  • Five ways to get out of jail (and how to speed up release).
  • Eight ways that getting out of jail can be delayed (and how to avoid them).
  • The most common bail bond forms and contracts you'll encounter.
  • Twenty-one types of items you can use as bail collateral to secure your bond money.
  • Navigating criminal court procedures and ensuring the exoneration of your bail bond.
  • How to prepare your defense in court, how to reduce sentencing, and maybe even how to stay out of prison completely.

Every arrest is difficult, whether it's a DUI, traffic ticket, shoplifting, domestic violence, drug possession, white collar crime, or an even more serious charge. But defendants who get out on bail are better prepared because they have more time, more options, and can seek better help. Read Get Bail, Leave Jail to prepare yourself with this vital information before you or your loved ones ever need it.




The Contract Professional's Playbook: The Definitive Guide to Maximizing Value through Mastery of Performance- and Outcome-Based Contracting by Jeanette Nyden, JD and Lawrence Kane, COP-GOV

Finalist
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

Ever increasing demand for performance- and outcome-based agreements stems from pressure for enterprises to drive greater value from their strategic customer/supplier relationships. To achieve expected performance, contractual relationships are increasingly complex and interdependent, requiring more stakeholders be involved in the decision making. Unfortunately for contract professionals held accountable to these requirements there has been little in the way of resources that answer their “how to” questions about drafting, negotiating, and managing performance- and outcome-based agreements. Until now!

The Contract Professional’s Playbook (and corresponding eLearning program) walks subject matter experts who may be new to complex contracting step-by-step through all aspects of the contract life cycle. Invaluable competencies include identifying and managing risk, increasing influence with stakeholders, developing pricing models, negotiating complex deals, and governing customer-supplier relationships to avoid value leakage in the midst of constant change. It's an invaluable resource that raises the bar for buy-side and sell-side practitioners alike.




The Founders' Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms by Stephen P. Halbrook

Finalist
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

Do Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms? Or is this power vested solely in government? Recent years have seen a sea change in scholarship on the Second Amendment. Beginning in the 1960s, a view emerged that individuals had a “right” to bear arms only in militia service—a limited, "collective" right. But in the late 1980s Dr. Stephen Halbrook and a handful of other scholars began producing an altogether persuasive analysis that changed thinking on the matter, so that today, even in canonical textbooks, bearing arms is acknowledged as an individual right.

Stephen Halbrook’s The Founders’ Second Amendment is the first book-length account of the origins of the Second Amendment, based on the Founders’ own statements as found in newspapers, correspondence, debates, and resolutions. Dr. Halbrook investigates the period from 1768 to 1826, from the last years of British rule and the American Revolution through to the adoption of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and the passing of the Founders’ generation. His book offers the most comprehensive analysis of the arguments behind the drafting and adoption of the Second Amendment, and the intentions of the men who created it.

When Machines Can Be Judge, Jury, and Executioner: Justice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Katherine Forrest

Finalist
Law
2021 Best Book Awards

This book explores justice in the age of artificial intelligence. It argues that current AI tools used in connection with liberty decisions are based on utilitarian frameworks of justice and inconsistent with individual fairness reflected in the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence. It uses AI risk assessment tools and lethal autonomous weapons as examples of how AI influences liberty decisions. The algorithmic design of AI risk assessment tools can and does embed human biases. Designers and users of these AI tools have allowed some degree of compromise to exist between accuracy and individual fairness.
